How to Make Asiago Drop Biscuits

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 4 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
3. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter or margarine using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Stir in 1 1/2 cups grated Asiago cheese.
5. Pour in 1 cup buttermilk and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Drop by rounded tablespoons (about 16 mounds) onto the prepared baking sheet.
7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
8. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
9. **Variation:** Substitute cheddar or smoked mozzarella cheese for the Asiago.
10. **Herbed Asiago Biscuits:** Add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (rosemary, thyme, or a mix) or 1 teaspoon dried herbs to the dry ingredients in step 2.
